Drew Pomeranz’s rough start Monday night will be his last outing for a while. The A’s announced Tuesday afternoon that they’ve put the left-hander on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right hand. Pomeranz (5-4, 2.91 ERA) later confirmed to reporters that he punched a chair in frustration after giving up eight runs (seven earned) in 3-2/3 innings in Monday evening’s 14-8 loss to Texas.

Taking Pomeranz’s roster spot — at least in the short term — is right-handed reliever Evan Scribner, whom Oakland recalled from Triple-A Sacramento.

The A’s also announced they’ve acquired lefty Brad Mills from Milwaukee for cash considerations. Mills was 4-2 with a 1.56 ERA and had 77 strikeouts in 75 innings for Triple-A Nashville this season. He pitched in 15 big-league games with the Blue Jays and Angels from 2009 through ’12. It’s certainly conceivable that Mills, 29, could take Pomeranz’s spot in the rotation.
